 |

I have no clue. I see a lot of American movies and they mostly drive Fords in them but which one is the equivalent to the Aussie Falcon?
Do they have I6 and V8 options?
Cheers |

| I think americans are to crazed on big pick ups to bother with our relativly small falcons and commos. |

Farque !!!!!!
Look at these specs
Last year's old-tech recirculating ball steering setup has been excised.
Ford updated the Crown Victoria's short- and long-arm independent front suspension for 2003
solid rear axle
It continues to sell today because Chrysler and General Motors abandoned the rear-drive, V8 marketplace in the 1990s, leaving Ford to fill the orders for thousands of police cars and taxicabs
Farque ! Compare those specs to a BA, hell even an EA !!!
Makes you wonder what the yanks thought of the dozen BAs that were shipped over there for testing ! |

I think the US equivilant would be the Mustang? They are just an average car over there.
I read in the paper a few months back that they were going to release the Mazda6 as a Falcon in the US. Mazda is partially owned by Ford. |

| well coming from canada its kinda hard to say, currently the chevy impala's are used for taxi's and that but mainly since they're economical and seat 5. I'd say a mustang would come pretty close, considering its in the same price range as the falcon technically(40 aussie for a new V8 GT mustang) Crown victorias were popular as well as the Caprice(not the convertible, 5 seater sedan) for public service(police, taxi, etc...) |

The yanks invented the Falcon, the ozzies improved it, the south Americians still make a mess of it, and the yanks are now buying our muscle Falcons - shock horror
The Taurus looks very ugly - not even a worthy Falcon replacement, I guess the have the Crown Victoria
oh well |
